If the other party is not a liar, then according to previous speculation, he should be an investigator with the Master of Deception card, because only in this way can it explain the phenomenon that his attitude towards [Fate] was different before and after but he always told the truth.
However, there is another possibility, a possibility that Cheng Shi had never dared to imagine before, that is, Li Wufang also had a "discrepancy" in [time], just like the "discrepancy" of Gers or Adric, so that he became two completely different people in the first and second parts of today, and these two...
No, wait, not two, three!
Cheng Shi's eyes widened again, and he reviewed all the reactions of Li Wufang that he had seen today.
The original Li Wufang believed in fate but was not close to himself; the Li Wufang who appeared in the middle said that he did not believe in fate, and [fate] could only protect his teammates; and the current Li Wufang... not only believed in fate but was also "his" subordinate, a subordinate of an unknown organization even in another timeline!!!
The opponent's "【time】" has changed!
Thinking of this, a chill rushed from Cheng Shi's tailbone to his forehead. Fear suddenly spread from the depths of his heart, like a giant hand, tightly grasping his heart.
I should have thought that the trial of [Time] wouldn't be so simple, but... could it be that difficult?
He deliberately disrupted the dimension of time, so he couldn't have done it just to trick me! ?
Or is He trying to prove that the [Time of Eternal Prisoner] He bestowed was correct, and wanted to turn himself into a prisoner trapped in time like Avros in this game?
Cheng Shi was a little panicked, his hands and feet were cold.
Although all of the above are just his personal speculations and there is no actual evidence, it does not seem difficult to verify all of this. Cheng Shi has no time to think about it. His only advantage now is that the other party has mistaken him, and as long as there is a mistake, there is a lot of room for maneuver.
And the clown is the best at moving around in this small space!
So Cheng Shi's mind turned quickly, and he turned around and drew his knife again, slashing the neck of Gers, who was trembling in the investigator's hand.
"laugh--"
Blood splattered and life was lost.
As Gers was staring at him in fear without even having time to scream, Cheng Shi curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, caught the other person and laid him flat on the ground, and under the cover of the blood splattering, he put one hand around Gers' back and quietly touched the shadow under him in the blind spot where no one could see.
“Ding~”
The Fate Weaver turned into the Joker again at this moment, and the first thing the Joker did after his return was to stick a smoke bomb in his sleeve. He had to ensure that his talent for fishing in troubled waters would be used as soon as the other party found out about the clue. [Fraud] did not have the gambling tools that would never be lost for him to use.
However, Cheng Shi was not in a hurry to release smokescreen. When the situation had not yet collapsed, he could still play the role of "Cheng Shi" in the other party's mind to verify his guess. So after taking the opportunity to kill Gers, he said with a playful smile:
"You can't hide a living person, but it's easier to hide a dead person."
To be honest, even if his guess was true, Cheng Shi didn't know what he would be like in the other timeline, but he knew that as long as he played his current self well, it would be enough to deceive Li Wufang.
This is not because the chaotic role-playing method is effective, but because the other party's misidentification shows that the "self" in another timeline should be very similar to the current self.
Li Wufang really didn't think there was anything wrong with this scene. He twitched his mouth and said helplessly, "There's no need to make so much blood. It's tiring to clean it up."
Although he was complaining, the investigator still carefully erased all traces of the scene. When he manually wiped off the last drop of blood on Adrick's body, looking at the miner who was so frightened that he could no longer speak, Li Wufang snorted and said:
"What about him?"
"Throw him here as bait, don't worry about him."
Cheng Shi spoke casually, but in fact he didn't know what he was talking about.
The revival effect of the Lush Horn Crown will only take effect the first time for each person, so Cheng Shi knows that he has lost the opportunity to revive Adric again. In this case, before it is determined who will be the "time difference", he can no longer take the risk of betting that someone else will revive this key NPC.
So he made up a seemingly mysterious arrangement and waited for the other party to fill in the blanks.
No one knew what Li Wufang was thinking. Anyway, after a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "That makes sense. Let's just leave it alone."
After saying that, he knocked Adric unconscious, then returned to Cheng Shi and asked seriously:
"Where should we go to find him next?"
Cheng Shi heard that the "he" was obviously referring to Jiang Chi, but he didn't know what role Jiang Chi played in this chaotic drama, nor did he know where Jiang Chi, whom Li Wufang was looking for, was.
But looking at the other party's behavior, could it be that he wants to learn from Marshal Hu Wei, break through the void, and find someone by crashing into other trials?
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. How do you find it?
Even though Cheng Shi is "nominally" Hu Wei's boss, he does not have as many tricks as Hu Wei. Just because the other party can accurately understand other people's trials, it does not mean that Cheng Shi can do it too.
If he had to break through the void, the only thing he could do was to take Li Wufang for a spin in the midst of laughter and ridicule, but could such a meaningless journey stop the other party's doubts?
Obviously not!
